Sunbeam are very safety conscious when
designing and manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential that the product user also exercise care when using an electrical appliance. Listed below are precautions which are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug – do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless this cord has been checked and tested by a qualified technician or service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is being used near children or infirm persons.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Sunbeam VitaSteam electronic food steamer. You will now be able to enjoy the benefits and convenience of steam cooking.
Steaming is one of the healthiest cooking methods available, as it requires no fats or oils. Steaming ensures that fruit and vegetables retain vitamins and minerals required for a balanced diet. Meats such as chicken can be gently steamed to retain their flavour and tenderness, while the fats drain away.
Steaming is also gentle, as the food never comes in contact with the cooking liquid, ensuring that it retains its shape, colour and texture.

An Introduction to Steam Cooking
5
Before using your VitaSteam Electronic for the first time, wash the steaming bowls, rice bowl, lid and drip tray in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Operate the steamer for 15 minutes using a solution of 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 2 cups water in the reservoir.
Note: You may notice a slight odour during this first operation. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not affect the performance of your steamer.
1.Fill the water reservoir above the ‘MIN’ water level and no higher than the ‘MAX’ water level.
Note: Use only clean water in your VitaSteam Electronic. Do not use wine, stock or other liquids.
2. Put the Removable Drip Tray in place.
Note: Do not operate the Steamer without the Removable Drip Tray.
3. Place food to be steamed without sauce or liquid into the steaming bowls and place on the Power Base. If steaming with sauce or liquid, use the rice bowl and place inside one of the steaming bowls.
4. Replace the lid.
5. Insert the plug into a 230-240V power outlet and turn the power on.
6. To set the Timer turn unit on by pressing the Power button.
00:00 will appear on
the LCD screen.
7. Press the “SET” button once and the word “STEAMER” will appear on the LCD screen. An automatic cooking time of 10 minutes will appear. To change this time use the MIN (minutes) and HR (hours) buttons to change cooking time to the desired cooking time. There is a maximum cooking time of 3 hours 59 minutes. Once the cooking time has been chosen
the unit will turn on automatically after 5 seconds. The neon cooking light will go on to let you know that steaming has commenced. 5 beeps will sound when the selected time has elapsed and the steamer will automatically go to a “KEEP WARM” function.
Note: If the water in the Steamer runs out before the cooking has finished the unit will sound a continuing beep and the Neon light will blink. See section on the Automatic Boil dry sensor setting on page 6.
8. Using oven mitts or a cloth, remove the lid by tilting it away from you to ensure steam is safely released without scalding. Hold the lid over the steamer to allow the condensation to drain into the unit before removing completely. Remove the plug from the power outlet after use.
9. Remove the steamer tray/rice bowl and serve the food.
Note: Use caution when handling the base of the unit and steamer/rice bowl as these will be hot.
Delay Start
You can delay your cooking process by up to 30 minutes. This helps you to get all food ready in advance and the Steamer will start itself once the desired time has been selected.
1. Turn unit on by pressing the Power
.
00:00 will appear on the LCD screen

For Best Results
The cooking times stated in this booklet are a guide only. The steaming time required for specific foods is affected by the following:
• The size, quality and the temperature of the food.
• The degree to which you like your food cooked.
• The temperature of the water used for steaming.
To ensure good results using your VitaSteam Electronic, follow these simple tips: –
• Remove food soon after the steaming cycle is completed. Food will continue to cook slightly with the keep warm function.
• Food should be arranged evenly in all steamer bowls. Foods of uniform size will steam at a similar rate.
Using your VitaSteam Deluxe (continued)
3. Press the “SET” button again, and the word “TIMER” will appear on the LCD. Press the MIN (minutes) button to the desired delay time. There is a maximum of 30 minutes that this function can be used for. Once the delay time has been chosen the unit will turn on automatically after 5 seconds and the delay countdown will begin. Once the delay time has finished the Steamer will start the cooking process.
Keep warm function
The steamer is fitted with a “Keep Warm” function. Once the selected cooking time has finished the Steamer will beep 5 times. The unit will automatically go to the “Keep Warm” function where the Steamer will switch itself on and off releasing a small amount of steam at a time to keep your food warm. The Steamer will stay in the “Keep Warm” setting function for 1 hour. After 1 hour the Steamer will beep 3 times and the Steamer will turn off.
Automatic boil dry sensor setting:
The Steamer is fitted with an automatic boil dry sensor which switches off the heating element if the base is accidentally switched on empty or boils dry. If this occurs a continuing beep will sound and the Neon light will blink. If cooking, the timer will stop. Refill water through the spout and press the “SET” button to recommence the cooking process. The timer will continue with the remaining cooking time left on the LCD.

The VitaSteam Deluxe features an Instant Steam Function that will enable steam to be generated in as little as 30 seconds. For this feature to operate you must place the Removable Drip Tray with instant steam sleeve in position.
The Sleeve concentrates a small amount of water around the Exposed Heating Element, quickly bringing it to boiling temperature to produce steam, rather than heating all of the water in the reservoir.
The Sleeve has a small cut out in the bottom to allow water to flow into the contained water area.
For more efficient steaming we recommend that the appliance is always operated with the Removable Drip Tray with instant steam sleeve in position.
Guide to Instant Steam Function
Guide to Water Levels
Your VitaSteam Electronic relies on the water reservoir being full of water to operate. Fill the water reservoir with clean water only. The water level must be between the ‘MIN’ (500ml) and ‘MAX’ (1000ml) markings.
When continuously cooking food with your steamer ensure that the water level does not fall below the ‘MIN’ marking (500ml).
If this does occur your VitaSteam Electronic is fitted with an Automatic boil dry sensor. See previous page for more details.

The VitaSteam Electronic comes with three steaming trays. The appliance can operate with all trays stacked on top of each other or with just one tray in position. See Figure 1.
Trays can also have the bases removed to allow for larger foods. See Figure 2.
Place the largest piece of food with the longest cooking time in the lower steaming bowl, then place on top of the Removable Drip Tray and Power Base.
Then place the upper steaming tray on top for cooking of vegetables.
Note: Ensure bases are properly clicked into the sides of each tray before use.
Guide to using the Steaming Trays
Guide to using the Rice Bowl
Cooking of rice must be done in the Rice Bowl. The Rice Bowl must be placed in the top steaming tray with the lid.
Both uncooked rice and water must be added to the Rice Bowl. Check the recommended quantities on Page 12. For perfect rice, ensure you rinse rice properly with cold running water before cooking.
When handling the Rice Bowl use insulated pot holders/oven mitts to avoid burns from the hot steam.

Before cleaning your Sunbeam VitaSteam Electronic, ensure the power is turned off at the power outlet and the plug removed.
Wash the rice bowl, steam tray, drip trays and the lid in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
DO NOT wash in dishwasher as the hot water temperatures and harsh detergents may ultimately warp and scratch these parts. DO NOT use abrasives or abrasive cleaners as these may also cause scratching.
Wipe out the interior of the steamer base with a warm, damp cloth or a small brush. Wipe the exterior of the base with a damp cloth or sponge. DO NOT use abrasives or abrasive cleaners as these may scratch the steamer base.
Warning.
NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE OF YOUR STEAMER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
Important – Mineral Deposits.
Mineral deposits may accumulate on the Exposed Heating Element which can result in your Sunbeam VitaSteam Electronic switching off before the cooking cycle is complete. To remove this build up use a wet scouring pad and rub over the surface of the heating element only after each use.
Alternatively, prepare a solution of either: (i)- 2 cups of water in which 1 teaspoon of
cream of tartar has been dissolved; or
(ii)- 2 cups of water to which 1 tablespoon
of lemon juice or white vinegar has been added.
Pour the solution into the reservoir, position the Lid and operate your Sunbeam VitaSteam Electronic for approximately 15 minutes. Remove the lid and clean as directed. If excess scale has built up, repeat this process.
Note:
If food with a strong odour, such as fish and cabbage has been steamed, the above procedure may be followed with the Steamer trays or rice cooker bowl in position. This will ensure that the odour is not transferred to the next steaming cycle.
Care and Cleaning

The following are some handy hints on how to steam vegetables:
1. Before steaming, wash the vegetables
thoroughly.
2. Cut off stems and peel if desired.
3. Cut vegetable to the desired size (smaller
pieces steam faster than larger ones).
4. To retain the vegetables flavour and
nutrients, steam until just tender, but still slightly firm.
5. When steaming several different vegetables at once, place the largest and firmest in the steamer first. Add other vegetables according to size during the steaming time.
6. If a sauce or liquid is to be prepared with the vegetables, use the rice bowl for steaming.
7. Frozen vegetables should not be thawed before steaming.
